+# Clean Up Item Layout In Finder Window
+
+Sometimes while doing a bunch of manual drag-n-drop of files and folders in a
+Finder.app window, I'll end up with a visual mess. Compared to other folders,
+nothing is organized on the grid.
+
+I can tell Finder.app to clean that up with the _Clean Up_ menu option.
+
+While focused on the folder that I'm concerned about, I can go to _View_ >
+_Clean Up_ in the top menu. Everything will snap into place.
+
+On the specific Finder.app window, there is also a triple-dot actions menu that
+appears on the top right. The _Clean Up_ action is available there as well.
+
+There is also a _Clean Up By_ option which is a nice way to organize by some
+attribute, such as the type (e.g Folder/File and extension).
